Dealing with customer and vets to ensure a smooth process of claims.

I have worked with injured racehorses for 1 year. Here I had to deal with fit racehorses from the track who had suffered tendon and ligament injuries. The main duties where to care for the horses daily and work through their rehabilitation programs. Using a treadmill, equi arc machine and ice boot machine where included. Worked at a rescue centre for 2 years. Here I worked alongside a well known charity and the police to seize horses and ponies. After that we had to care for them and bring them back to full health. Some had specialised feeding programs and wound care regimes and I would have to administer medication throughout the day. Once horses and ponies where in a better health condition sometimes ground work/riding was included. We would then prepare them to go to forever home and over see the rehoming process. Paper work and information recording was also expected throughout the process.

I am very happy to work in a team and I am equally capable to work on my own while being efficient. I have been left in charge of a rescue centre yard dealing with horse and ponies that need a variety or care and handling. I am able to speak professionally with customers in person and over the phone. My current employment at an insurance company has given me customer service experience, It has also allowed me to improve my IT skills working on computers with various systems.

I have ridden a variety of horses. I have my own thoroughbred who has been raced. I ride between 3-5 days a week. My main discipline is dressage/ flat work.

I am competing my horse at prelim and novice level unaffiliated dressage.
